members of the team silver medals; the second team will receive bronze medals.
"TAs soon as the league series are finishes (finished),the Inter-collegiate
Championship Match for 1911 will be shot, the conditions being the same as the league
shooting.
"'Your college may enter a team for the league series for ten dollars, or if you
prefer to organize a rifle club in your institution, the entrance fee would be five
